Bahamas Day 206 – BD206 (7/30/12) – We travelled approximately 60 miles west of Andros to arrive at Highbourne Cay around 1:15 p.m. After taking on 144.2 gallons of diesel fuel @ 5.04/gallon, we moved into slip #4. We were tied up and making lunch by 2:15.
The generator quit working as soon as we left Fresh Creek. Rick will polish the new fuel and then look at the generator again before we leave here to go to Shroud Cay. One of our engines is smoking really badly and so the back of the boat is covered in soot. It looks like we’ve got some cleaning to do! We were going to try to stay here two nights, but the manager says they are full tomorrow. She expects some cancellations, but we won’t know for sure until tomorrow morning.
However this could turn out to be dangerous. go to shop order cheap levitra can be bought online easily without any hassle and moreover your privacy is retained so go online order today and bring back the sizzling hot chemistry on bed like you always wanted.
BD207 (7/31/12) – Woke up early to another day in paradise. Rick went to check on slip availability for tonight, but they said come back at 10:00. He started the generator with no problem – that is promising. We decided to lower the dinghy from the top deck while we were sure that we had power. We will trail it behind the boat for the next week. We all enjoyed swimming at the beach late yesterday. Vanessa wore her snorkeling mask and explored. She was having a great time, until she saw the barracuda. Of course, with the mask on it was magnified, and she decided she didn’t want to swim anymore with that big fish! (When I asked her how long it was and she held out her hands to show the distance, it looked like it might have been 18 inches.) Even after this “terrifying” experience, she still asked if she could go pet the nurse sharks. We said, “No, we’re saving that experience for another day.” At 10:00, Rick found out that someone had cancelled their two-day reservation, so he said, “We’ll take it.” This afternoon, we loaded up in the dinghy and headed for Allen’s Cay. We stopped and watched the iguanas for a few minutes and then went over to Southwest Allen’s Cay to greet some more iguanas and to snorkel. We left there and went back to a beach on Highborne Cay where we knew there was a picnic table under a tree. That is where we stopped to eat our sandwiches for a late lunch. We went back to the boat around 3:00 and decided to rest and relax the rest of the afternoon.
BD208 (8/1/12) – Today we took the dinghy south from Highborne. Vanessa picked out a long white beach and so we headed for it. Rick climbed the hill to see the “rough” side of the water while we walked along the beach to a low spot where we could see into a lagoon. As we neared a stone structure, a lady came out of it and said, “Excuse me, this is a private island.” I replied that we were sorry, we didn’t know and it was a beautiful island. She said thanks. And we returned to the dinghy and headed back to the boat. We spent some time on the beach and got in some “nap time”, then went to the restaurant, Xuma, for supper where we all enjoyed our meals; and, our waiter, Berlin, paid special attention to our granddaughter, much to her delight.
BD209 (8/2/12) – Rick went to the office to tell them what time we planned to leave and they told him that our reservation was through tomorrow morning. So, we loaded up the dinghy and headed back to Allen’s Cay. This time, we went to one of the islands that doesn’t have iguanas. We went snorkeling and saw fish and coral every color of the rainbow. We also saw a big stingray and a number of jelly fish. We came back to the marina and Vanessa snorkeled some more at the beach while Rick and I chilled out in the beach chairs.
Departed Highborne Cay on Friday, August 3, 2012, at approximately 11:45 a.m.
